Web Hosting Options

We help you choose the hosting option that’s best for your company.

You might think of eMagine’s hosting service as taking the “Goldilocks” approach: our wide variety of arrangements enables every client to pick one that’s “just right” for them.

Your options include:

Shared – In this approach, your website shares a server along with those of a number of other hosting clients. (With eMagine, that number is only dozens; with some low-end providers, it may be thousands.) While it gives you the lowest level of control, the shared approach is also the most economical and suffices for most clients.

Dedicated/co-located – As the name suggests, under this approach your website is on a dedicated server of its own. (If it’s our server, it’s called dedicated; if it’s yours under our management, it’s called co-located.) Clearly this method gives you the highest level of control, including the ability to specify storage and other resources ...but not surprisingly, it’s also the most costly.

Virtual Private Server (VPS) – This hybrid approach uses virtualization software to give each hosted website its own full-system resource set – processor, memory, storage – while in fact they’re all utilizing the same physical server. It’s in essence a “best-of-both-worlds” approach, providing nearly the level of control of dedicated at close to the cost of shared ...which probably explains why its popularity has been growing so rapidly.

Custom solutions – Not quite happy with any of the above standard options? Need warm standby? clustering? load balancing? failover to geographically-dispersed facilities? No problem; just ask eMagine’s hosting division to quote on the specific features your company requires.

And there’s more...

In addition to your website, eMagine can also host a number of applications and ancillary Web facilities, such as...

  • Microsoft Exchange

  • Email
  • Spam filtering
